Recommended Posts

So as the topic states how do i tell if these wheels are fake, im in the process of buying a set of Bora Ultra two black label edition but not sure if they original. The spokes have the G3 pattern. Any other way of telling, Sorry no pics.

This is what the real Campag hubs look like.

Problem with the rims are that the fakes are 50mm as are the real rims.

You can check for serial no on the rim but may be hard to find if it's covered in glue.

Gummibear thanks a lot dude. They definitely are fakes, the hubs clearly doesn't have the engraving marked on them.

Much appreciated.

And here is a pic of the genuine wheel. Notice the different spoke pattern for the rear wheel. Coupled with gummis pics, you should be able to spot the fake from the real article

There was a guy selling fake ones on the Hub and I reported him to JJ Cycling. They sent me a mail with a few pointers. If i can find the mail, I will upload it.

Bad advice. There are a number of fakes with the G3 spoke pattern doing the rounds.

 

Be careful
